Christmas is Comin'


Brace yourselves folks.....it's a coming, it's a coming, ready or not, it's a coming!

I love this time of year, the lights and colors, the sparkles and glitter, the trees and cold weather. BUT.....dun dun dunnnnnnnnn, there is one thing that I am not fond of. The shopping, the retail stores and the crabby employees whom I happen to get after they have just had an argument with the previous consumer. Sigh. Therefore, I choose to frequent my favorite site, Amazon.com. I have no idea what I would do without them. I am so a fan of Amazon that the UPS man who delivers to my office walks in and says "Guess who this is for" and has worn a path to my door. The corner of my office looks like I am a corrugated box saleperson rather than a print sales person and I am hoping for the happy wrapper (not rapper) to pay me a visit. (Any takers?)

This past week, while I was at the mall with my sister and my daughter Ashley, Mike assembled the tree and that was step one. (I will have to say this, one tree went up as the mice in our shed have decided that the dining room tree made a nice chew toy and a place to deposit unmentionables). Two days later, I put on the lights because I am so darn anal about that and I have to do it every year. Who woulda' thought? Hopefully, this evening and the weekend will be spent making our home a beautiful reflection of the season. Hopefully I say because I still have a naked tree in the corner of the house.

Then there is the problem of our kitties. Simon (the giant cat) and Lil' Gray, the little girl, love the tree. Simon likes to sit under the tree and munch on the branches. If you are not a cat owner, you have to understand that cats do not resond to the word NO, or strong tones. They just stare at you like ...SHUT UP, I'm busy chewing on this tree. I am hoping that the tree can withstand the team of S & G. Hey, that could be a new wrestlin' tag team!

Truly, I am anxious to see what the weekend will bring.


Merry Christmas....let the countdown begin. Now, go decorate and share pictures!
